Description Umherirrender 2011-12-09 19:22:40 UTC

Using the following wikitext does not link to the same page:

[[en:test&amp;#65;test]]
[[:en:test&amp;#65;test]]


The first is linking to [[TestAtest]] (In the section "other languages"). The second is linking to [[Test&]] with the anchor "65;test" in normal wikipage. Looks strange.

If this is a feature, please tag this as INVALID. Thanks.

Confirming for  1.21wmf8 (bc9d5b3)

Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2013-07-03 12:35:36 UTC

Umherirrender: Both links seem to create the same search results now? 
Can you confirm (or explain what I'm doing wrong)?

Comment 3 Umherirrender 2013-07-03 16:52:00 UTC

You should not test it on en.wp, because than these are red links. Test it on de.wp or change the en: to de:

The excpeted result is, that both should link to [[Test&]] with the anchor "65;test" because only the &amp; should be decoded and not a &#65;

Comment 4 James Forrester 2014-06-20 17:41:56 UTC

This is related to a parser rather than editing per se.

(It looks like different encoding pipelines being used somehow.)

Comment 5 This, that and the other (TTO) 2014-07-21 02:42:27 UTC

In SkinTemplate#getLanguages, Title::newFromText is called on a string that is the result of calling Title#getFullText on a Title object that was itself created using Title::newFromText.

Since Title::newFromText performs HTML entity stripping (why??!), this means the link gets doubly decoded.
